6th DQ INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST 2011
" 50 YEARS TOGETHER"

Don Quichotte is a e-humour magazine quartered in Stuttgart.
On the 6th year of the International Cartoon Contest, the chosen theme is ’50 Years Together’.
Through Don Quichotte, Turkish caricature comes in contact with that of the world;
international contests and exhibitions on the world agenda are presented with Don Quichotte’s polyglot humour.
Our aim in the above contest is to express in lines the nostalgic trip started in Sirkeci train station 50 years previously,
and the reasons and the consequent problems of that migration.
Among the 7 million and plus immigrants living in Germany right now,
Turkish origins constitute half of the total population.
 It is still debated whether Germany is a country of immigrants.
